In a recent statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that Ukrainians and Hungarians are neighbors and called the Hungarian prime minister's visit fair. What could be behind this?
Ukraine is indeed Hungary's neighbor, and Hungary has helped the peace efforts by taking in refugees and providing medical assistance. In addition, Hungary has also sought to resolve bilateral issues that are open with Ukraine. The prime minister's visit to Ukraine is a step towards a resolution of the conflict as soon as possible. And let us not forget that in the recent European Parliament elections, ordinary European citizens clearly indicated that they are committed to peace.
As part of brokering peace, Viktor Orban traveled to Moscow after Kyiv. How do you see this visit?
Hungary has assumed a traditional diplomatic stance in facilitating dialogue between the parties. This important role has often been neglected, but for the sake of peace, Hungary has always been open to such mediation. This mediation and negotiation bring credit to Hungary's foreign policy, while also making a significant contribution to peace, which both sides are growing increasingly aware of.
